Historically, chiropractors primarily treated conditions that originated from a pinched nerve. Of course, chiropractors still take care of symptoms from pinched nerves, but also treat many other types of neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether the pain is coming from a muscle, joint or nerve. Nerve pain can mimic lots of different problems. A muscle pain that does not resolve with time or conservative treatment could possibly be an entrapped nerve. A joint that has pain where the pain can't be reproduced by local

Professionals fessionals On The Peninsula Pinched Nerve, Strained Muscle or Osteoarthritis testing may also be a pinched nerve. A nerve that is irritated in the spine doesn't always produce pain at the site of irritation. It can produce pain along the travelled course of the nerve. Injury to the sciatic nerve that originates in the lower back, can produce pain or numbness in only the foot, calve or hamstring muscle or any combination. Nerve entrapment in the spinal column is typically caused by a misalignment of vertebrae, a herniated or bulging disc, joint inflammation or osteoarthritis (spinal degeneration). There are other causes but not as common. When a nerve is irritated at the spinal level, pain is only one of the symptoms that may be felt. Burning, aching, numbness, tingling, itchiness, muscle twitching and muscle atrophy are a few other symptoms related to nerve pressure. How does one know that they have nerve irritation or nerve pressure in the spinal column? Chiropractors have the tools in their offices to help make a diagnosis of nerve pressure.

Other testing such as CT Scans and MRI's are also helpful in determining these problems. Sometimes a nerve problem can be helped by applying ice to the area. This may help the nerve by decreasing the swelling of the nerve. Other times, depending on the cause, ice does not help. In chiropractic we use spinal manipulation and adjustment, some therapy-modalities, spinal traction and decompression therapy* and cold laser therapy* to help manage and alleviate the symptoms of nerve entrapment. For information on spinal decompression therapy* and cold laser*, visit our website at www.southsurreychiropractic or contact us at our office at 604-531-6446. *Results may vary from patient to patient.
